New York Comic Con: Tips for creators and how to get published

New York Comic Con is a great place for would-be comic book creators to get a jump-start on the creative process.

One of the easier ways to get published is through ComiXology's Submit, where anyone can upload their comic and get published online.

For the convention, ComiXology will print free copies of some of their Submit titles (including "Fresh Romance"), which you can get at their booth at B11-14.

amNewYork spoke with John Roberts, ComiXology co-founder and Director of Submit, for tips about how to get published on Submit.

1. "Cover design is very important, it's the first thing our customers will see and is the best advertisement for your comic. Most people will see your cover as a thumbnail so make sure it looks as good small as it does full size."
